Standard policy is to have the pilot eject before the plane crashes if at all possible. Planes are expensive, but pilots take both time and money to train, and not just anybody will do for the job. This means they are valuable and you don’t want to lose them and the plane, thus the order to bail. Unfortunately without a skilled hand to keep the jet stable, our fighter jets tend to drop like rocks (very big rocks that are filled with very volatile fuel that can go boom) so there is a risk if the pilot bails out over populated areas. Some of them would rather risk the crash themselves than have civilian casualties.
I remember a story a bit back where a trainer crashed with trainee and trainer. They could have ejected, but they wouldn’t have been able to dump the fuel. They crashed into a house and destroyed a lot of property, but no fatalities, probably because they turned their plane from a fuel air bomb into a large blunt object.

If they hadn’t dumped the fuel…well, 9-11?
